In this paper, we propose to enhance a Physical working conditions to decrease absence from work. we demonstrated the correlation of worker's absence with various environmental factors in workplace by surveying 6,962 workers. As result, first, concerning exposure to physical work factors, most of them complained of vibration, and concerning exposure to improper working posture, most of them complained of repetitive arm and hand motions. Second, the absence experience had correlations with age, monthly income, smoking, number of employees, long term working, and shift work, and of the physical factors, hand vibration, noise, high temperature, low temperature and improper working posture had correlations with physical pain posture, movement of people and carrying heavy materials. Third, experience of exposure to hand vibration, noise and low temperature of the physical factors had impact on absence, and of the improper working posture, physical pain posture and carrying heavy stuff had impacts on absence. Through this study, it was found that of the work factors of Korean workers, physical factors and improper working posture had impacts on absence. The results of this study confirmed that physical factors and inappropriate working posture among work factors influenced the absenteeism. Therefore, it is required to improve the work environment regarding physical risk factors and prepare a systematic management plan.

This study was conducted to evaluate the satisfaction level of interns and residents on training and job environment of two university hospitals in Pusan. The concept of subject's satisfaction was evaluated in general characteristics, socioeconomic status, working condition, human relationship, and job status and scored from 1 to 5. The newly developed questionnaire for this study(32 items) was revised and modified by the preliminary survey. The internal consistency of questionnaire was 0.73(Cronbach's alpha). The self-administered questionnaire was provided to 218 subjects and collected the answering from March 2 to March 25th, 1997, and statistical significances were tested by $x^2-test$, t-test and ANOVA. The satisfaction level between the residents group was significantly different, but satisfaction level of working condition, human relationship and job status showed no difference. The service division part showed highest(2.73) and the surgical division part showed lowest(2.57). The job satisfaction level between the subjects showed higher satisfaction level in working condition, socioeconomic status, and total satisfaction dimension, and intern group showed higher satisfaction level than resident group. Satisfaction level in human relationship dimension, resident group showed higher satisfaction level than intern group, but showed no statistically difference. To improve the working condition for residents, public welfare facilities was firstly suggested and the next was salary increase, overloaded work, respectively. For intern groups, overloaded work and waste work were firstly suggested and the next was public welfare facilities and salary increase, sequentially. The career gets longer, the satisfaction level on general characteristics of working condition, socioeconomic status, and total satisfaction level were increased. The subjects who have religion and higher socioeconomic status showed higher satisfaction level than the other group. The general satisfaction level of subjects in all dimensions showed lower aver age(3.0) and the overall satisfaction level showed below than average. Thus, in order to improvement of subject's working condition, higher quality of life is necessary rather than economic state. In future, these results might be considered to improve the working condition for interns and residents.

불안정 고용은 우울 등의 정신건강에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 불안정 고용의 임시성, 낮은 권한, 취약성, 권리 행사의 어려움, 노동시간의 불확실성, 낮은 임금이라는 여섯 가지 다차원적 특징을 고용 불안정성으로 정의하고, 우울에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 제5차 근로환경조사 자료를 활용하여 임금노동자의 여섯 가지 차원의 고용 불안정성을 측정하고(0~100점), 각 불안정성이 우울에 미치는 영향을 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 남성의 우울 위험은 취약성, 권리 행사의 어려움, 노동시간 불확실성 점수가 1점 증가할 때 각각 3.1%, 1%, 0.5% 증가했다. 여성에서는 임시성, 취약성, 권리 행사의 어려움이 1점 증가할 때 우울 위험이 각각 0.5%, 2.3%, 0.8% 증가했다. 고용 불안정성의 다차원적 개념을 활용해 노동자 우울을 살펴본 연구 결과, 노동자들의 건강은 안정적인 고용 계약은 물론 이들의 실질적인 노동 권리가 보장될 때 실현가능함을 시사한다.
